With automatic column generation as one of the default features of FlexGrid, the control lets you specify the columns, allowing you to choose which columns to show, and in what order. This gives you control over each column's width, heading, formatting, alignment, and other properties. To define columns for the FlexGrid, ensure that the AutoGenerateColumns is set to false (by default this property is true).
